VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise and reflects

aerobic capacity.

Testing provides objective data on aerobic fitness, metabolic efficiency, and accurate training

zones. It is also one of the best predictors of health and longevity.

No. Performance depends on multiple factors including lactate and ventilatory thresholds, running economy, durability, fueling, and pacing.

You exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike while breathing through a metabolic mask that measures oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. An incremental ramp test is performed where the speed or wattage is increased at certain time intervals until you decide you've reached your limit.

Yes. Testing is conducted in a controlled environment with continuous monitoring. The test is tailored to your current fitness level, and can even be performed walking.

No. Protocols are adjusted for beginners through elite athletes.

Results guide training zones, identify strengths and limitations, and inform future

programming. We are also able to determine your exact carbohydrate requirements in each zone, helping you nail your nutrition plan on race day.

Typically every 3–6 months or at key points in a training cycle.
